The Problem

We would like to add a recycling bin on the edge of our school property that will allow community members to place aluminum cans that we will take to our local recycling center. This will teach the students the importance of recycling and doing his/her part to protect our earth. This project will allow allow us to purchase items needed for our school garden. We also would like to purchase a worm bin to reduce the amount of food being thrown into the trash can each day. The castings from the worm bin will be used as fertilizer to our school garden.

Our Plan

We will purchase a large recycling bin and place in the front of our school. We will create a large sign that says, "CAN YOU HELP US" to ask the community to help us by recycling cans. The money collected from the recycled cans will be used to purchase seeds for our school garden. We also wish to start a worm bin to reduce the amount of food being thrown away each day. The worm castings will use added as fertilizer to our school garden.
